Are Tantrums "Normal"?

Do you worry whether your child is "normal", especially when they're having a meltdown (again!)? If so, you're not alone. Tantrums have been seen as unacceptable for hundreds of years and very harsh methods were used to stop them - "spoil the rod, spare the child". But tantrums ARE normal. In fact, they're a healthy biological function that needs to be supported rather than squashed. Because when they're squashed, the upset emotions stay inside your child which leads to anxieties, aggression and addictive behaviours. Listen to this episode to learn more about the benefits of expressing and releasing upset emotions - for your child (and for you....!).
